Additional 5000 MA Places
The Scottish Government recently announced they are creating an additional 5000 Modern Apprenticeships to help people of all ages enter the job market and progress in work-focused training.
This has the potential to provide additional support to at least 500 employers by either:
- developing their existing workforce or
- by creating the opportunity to recruit new apprentices
SDS are seeking proposals targeted towards the following priority groups in order:
- Additional opportunities for 16-19 year olds (Priority to be given to special groups including ex-young offenders, care leavers and progression from GRFW programmes)
- Adult Modern Apprenticeship (aged 20+) places - to be targeted towards occupational frameworks which support key sectors for economic success (Priority to be given to SMEs)
- Adult Modern Apprenticeship places to be targeted to those other frameworks where there is a greater learning input and where the costs to the business outweigh the benefits for a longer period during the period of the apprenticeship
To discuss how the additional places can benefit your business, please call Forth Valley College on 01324 403190.
For more information on the priority groups, frameworks and application criteria, please visit the SDS provider's website.
